Exercise Physiology

Exercise Physiology

An exercise physiologist is a university qualified allied health professional, who specialises in clinical exercise interventions for persons at high-risk of developing, or with existing chronic and complex medical conditions and injuries.

These interventions are provided by exercise delivery including health and physical activity education, advice and support and lifestyle modification with a strong focus on achieving behavioural change. Physiotherapists with an exercise physiology background are the most qualified practitioners able to provide an appropriate exercise program aimed at management and prevention of injuries.
